ABOUT US

Kensington Valley Orthotic and Sports Services provides a wide spectrum of services to health care consumers referred by their physicians. It is our primary goal to improve our client’s and patient’s functional status, whether it means an adult or child taking a first step, or an athlete returning to competition. We provide a wide array of custom designed and fabricated orthotic devices as well as many custom-fit off-the-shelf items. Our clients range in age from newborns to over 100 years of age.

Our experienced (over 15 years combined), caring and compassionate office staff guides our clients and patients through the many intricacies in health care financing. We participate with many health plans used in Michigan. If a plan does not allow us to participate, we direct the patient or client to a local provider. For those who don’t have insurance, we provide up-front information about the cost of orthotic care and attempt to offer a reasonable payment plan.
